The Nintendo NX, aka Nintendo's next video game console, has been named the Nintendo Switch. It's a multiplayer-friendly console with detachable controllers and a screen which can be docked to play at home.

Nintendo wants us to think that people will be using their new console to watch films on planes with the built-in kick stand, playing multiplayer games in the back of cars with two mini-controllers, playing full featured games with the controllers attached to the side, or docking the whole console and playing games with a full-size controller on your TV. It seems like there's a lot of bits to lose.
